Ok, @avclub-f14314bf4d4a1bd450664f089241fe86:disqus  - then look at David's war against Saul. I know there's archaeological evidence for David's reign. At some point in time, probably more than once, a large group of Israelites attacked and killed other Israelites throughout ancient history. It's not like the…

Touche. Although there have always been bad musicals. In the 80s, Starlight Express. In the 70s, Doctor Jazz. In the 60s, Ankles Aweigh.

The guitarist that Jenna dated was Broadway actor Clarke Thorell.

How is this story any different than any of the other stories in the Torah were Israelites kill other Israelites who stop worshiping God? Look at how many Israelites the Levites slaughtered after the golden calf incident (3000, in case you've forgotten.)

Woh-woh.

The Greeks. Wikipedia is your friend: http://en.wikipedia.org/wik…

Well, to be fair, the non-believers were killing the religious zealots who continued to worship their God using their traditions.

Hey, if she can act, I'm all for it!

I agree, but it really seems that Donna and I don't have similar comedic tastes. I thought the Thanksgiving episode was quite funny, and I remember that getting a relatively low grade.

Well, as is stated pretty frequently on this site, comedy is subjective. I didn't find the episode nearly as funny as many other people did. I'd probably have given it a B - nice character work, some laughs, but it could be funnier.

I'm not a fan of most USA shows but I do really think that White Collar is a cut above. The acting is much better, and there's actually very little cheesy dialogue! And there are more defined characters than just the two leads, and the plots are usually clever. It's a good little comfort-food show.

Although what actress would ever be hot enough to play Atom Eve?

I wish Krysten Ritter and Dreama Walker were my roommates. Although my real life roommate is nice and pretty. Well, the female one is. The male one is lazy and eats my food without asking.

Smash takes place in some world where Memphis doesn't exist, and Heaven on Earth plays at the Shubert Theatre. That poster is next to the Shubert stage door, and it was a Heaven on Earth performer coming out.

Age is not nearly as big a thing on stage as it is in movies/TV. Will Chase played a 20-year-old on Broadway three or four years ago. Norbert Leo Butz played an 18-year-old on Broadway 9 years ago.

I thought it was pretty clearly a reference to this:

I really think that Theresa Rebeck is writing herself, and she loves herself and can't understand why everyone else doesn't love her as well.

Are you really surprised to find people on here that are regulars on Gawker? I used to be, but they fired so many of my favorite writers that I lost interest. I still like io9.

@avclub-5e5e0bd5ad7c2ca72b0c5ff8b6debbba:disqus Your list sounds most accurate to what I remember, although I don't remember the Munsters, and I feel like I do remember two nights of Lucy. That could just be my memory though.

The internet, where we always assume we are talking to people our age. I vividly remember when Nick at Nite played two solid nights of I Love Lucy a week. Separated by a solid night of I Dream of Jeannie.
